Bucko Ball (for Kingsley). Written 2014, when Kings was still doing his physics degree

All that you have been 

In becoming yourself

Is summed up here,

In this almost sphere,

From messy, papier-mâché castles,

The amazing, War Hammer, armoured mammoth,

The tiny working trebouché,

To the Lego walking machine.

Summed up: 20 hexagons to make a Fullerene.

A three dimensional representation,

Of what you already know,

Providing information

So that you can show

And thus command

That part of your mind;

That has yet to find

A mathematical, theoretical solution,

Which must spell out 

In algorithms, codes,

Something real;

A concrete construction,

Which makes inroads

Into absence
And helps you understand.
